The Great Grandson of the Tang Dynasty: The beginning of the slaughter of General Tiance's mans

Chapter 192 This world is my world!
Under the leadership of Cui Wei and the Cui family, all the aristocratic families participating in the meeting agreed to jointly exert pressure.

Not only that, the Qiwang family, led by the Cui family, the Wang family, and the Lu family, began to secretly spread the news and called on other top families to join forces to put pressure on the court.

The news that Li Chengdao wanted to reform the imperial examination and wrest the right to become an official from the hands of aristocratic families was like a depth bomb, causing an uproar among the major aristocratic families.

Being from the same aristocratic family, they clearly understand what the right to become an official means to the aristocratic family, and it represents the inheritance and prosperity of the family!

Everyone knows that opening up the right to become an official to the common people will be of great benefit to the country, as it can screen a large number of outstanding talents for the country, but as you know, the wealthy families will never agree!
Because once the imperial examination is opened to serve as officials, a large number of new forces from poor families will rise, and the noble families from poor families who have been suppressed by aristocratic families for a long time will definitely be extremely hostile to the forces of aristocratic families!
They would rely on the emperor and be loyal to the emperor, quickly occupy high positions, and suppress the wealthy families.

Therefore, after the Cui family and several other top aristocratic families came forward, more than 20 large and small aristocratic families participated in the alliance.

The reason why aristocratic families are powerful is that they have been operating in the local area for a long time and have deep-rooted influence. Moreover, most of the officials in the court belong to various aristocratic families, especially when there are many local officials.

In addition, in order to reduce taxes, each aristocratic family hides tens of thousands or even tens of thousands of people in its own territory!This is definitely not empty talk!

Moreover, the aristocratic family owned a large amount of land in the local area, so that taxes from various places had to pass through the hands of the aristocratic family and then be transferred to the court.

If aristocratic families delay paying taxes, then the entire Tang Dynasty's tax revenue will be reduced by half!
What a scary number.

The combined power of the aristocratic families is enough to threaten the imperial power!This is also the reason why the emperor hates the family and feels helpless.

Under the alliance of the Cui family and other big families, many officials in the court petitioned to cancel the imperial examination reform.

In addition, officials from various places were also negligent in their duties. At the same time, taxes that were supposed to be paid by various places were delayed again and again and were not handed over to the court.

Some local people even gathered and protested, demanding the cancellation of the imperial examination reform.

These events had a great impact. Memorials flew to Menxia Province like snowflakes. The amount of tasks to be dealt with was several times greater than before, which made the officials of Menxia Province miserable.

The combined power of various aristocratic families is powerful. They are the most terrifying invisible force in this era!

Their roots spread throughout the Tang Dynasty, intertwined from side to side, forming an intricate network of forces.

Now this invisible power finally showed their huge side.

And this display of power caused the entire Tang Dynasty to fall into turmoil.

Imperial City, Huaqing Palace.

Li Chengdao did not handle government affairs today, or in other words, he did not handle government affairs for several days in a row.

The pile of memorials in the Imperial Study Room was probably as tall as one person, but he didn't even need to look at it to know what was contained in the sudden increase in memorials.

He already knew about the major aristocratic families joining together to put pressure on the imperial court.

In the garden, Li Chengdao lay on the lawn that had been carefully trimmed by the gardener, resting his head on Zheng Ran's lap and basking in the sun.

Late autumn has arrived, and the warm autumn sun is the most pleasant. Li Chengdao was basking in the sun, enjoying Zheng Ran's massage, and smelling the faint fragrance coming from the tip of his nose, but he felt a little sleepy.

"Your Majesty, you haven't gone to deal with government affairs in the past few days. Is that really okay?"

Zheng Ran asked worriedly.

Li Chengdao heard the words and replied casually: "Those aristocratic families are making trouble now, so just let them go. I just have a few days of peace."

When he said this, he opened his eyes and asked with a smile: "Why, do you think I'm annoying?" Zheng Ran's face turned red and she quickly explained: "No, your Majesty is accompanying me, so I am naturally happy, but..."

She was worried that if Li Chengdao stayed with her, he would be accused of being greedy for the beauty of the harem and neglecting state affairs.

But how would she know that Li Chengdao was not doing nothing here, but just waiting for news.

"That's fine."

Li Chengdao interrupted her, pinched her fair cheeks with some baby fat, and said with a smile.

After becoming a woman, Zheng Ran looked more mature and began to get rid of the category of loli.

The eunuchs and maids around them just pretended not to see such a scene.

At this moment, a respectful voice came: "Your Majesty."

Li Chengdao raised his eyes and saw that a shadow guard had arrived in the garden at some point and knelt down on one knee outside the lawn to salute.

"How's the investigation going?"

"Your Majesty, all the family members and officials involved in putting pressure on the imperial court have been identified. Here is the list. Your Majesty, please take a look."

The shadow guard handed over a list with both hands. Zheng Ran took it and showed it to Li Chengdao.

"Twenty-two aristocratic families are quite a lot. It looks like we need to kill a lot of them."

Li Chengdao said calmly, but these plain words made everyone present feel a chill in their backs.

"Where's Wenhe?"

"The Lord Attendant is following your Majesty's instructions to join forces with other heads of aristocratic families. We are almost ready now. I have sent a humble official to ask your Majesty when we will take action."

The leader of the Shadow Guard replied.

"Have you finished collecting the criminal evidence?"

"Your Majesty, everything has been completed and there is sufficient evidence of rebellion."

"yes……"

Li Chengdao opened his eyes, then stood up from Zheng Ran's arms, and gently flicked away a piece of grass stuck to his dragon robe.

"The three leading families will not stay. The other aristocratic families will pick a few to take action, suppress some, win over some, and frighten some. As for the officials involved in the matter, Jia Xu will be left to his own devices."

Li Chengdao said expressionlessly, narrowing his eyes slightly and looking into the distance.

"It's time to remind them that this world..."

"It's my world!"

You have entered the urn.
